Communication system

Abstract

A communication system is described in which an LTE base station and network are shared by two or more CDMA operators. Mobility parameters for the different CDMA operators are available and selection between the parameters is performed by the LTE base station, a mobile telephone connected to the LTE base station or a network node, such as an O&M node. The selection is performed based on information relating to subscription information for the mobile telephone.

         26 . A user equipment (UE) for communicating in a communication system that supports CDMA2000 interworking in LTE shared networks, the UE comprising:
 a memory for storing instructions; and   one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:   control a transceiver to communicate with an eNB of an LTE shared network;   based on a one-to-one mapping between a PLMN and a given CDMA2000 network, apply a set of CDMA2000 parameters corresponding to the PLMN; and   control the transceiver to receive information broadcast by the eNB, the received information comprising:
 parameters for multiple CDMA2000 networks; and 
 a list of CDMA2000 neighboring cells; 
   wherein the one or more processors are configured to apply a set of CDMA2000 parameters corresponding to the PLMN based on information specifying at least one CDMA2000 cell or base station identity and an LTE network identity.   
     
     
         27 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a communication system that supports CDMA2000 interworking in LTE shared networks, the method comprising:
 communicating with an eNB of an LTE shared network;   based on a one-to-one mapping between a PLMN and a given CDMA2000 network, applying a set of CDMA2000 parameters corresponding to the PLMN; and   receiving information broadcast by the eNB, the received information comprising:
 parameters for multiple CDMA2000 networks; and 
 a list of CDMA2000 neighboring cells; 
   wherein said applying the set of CDMA2000 parameters corresponding to the PLMN is based on information specifying at least one CDMA2000 cell or base station identity and an LTE network identity.
